hey All
In the coming weeks I will be putting together a new system...The specs so far are:
Intel P4 2.6 800MHz FSB ~$175
Chenbro X-pider Case w/ 350W supply ~$100
512MB of ram ~$100
120GB hard drive ~$60
Radeon 9600XT 128MB (just waiting for it to become available) ~$200
The only place I'm stuck is on the motherboard. I've seen the ~950 posts on the Asus P4P800 board and am leaning toward that but I wanted to see a couple more opinions before I made the purchase.
I'm looking for a mb that has support for 800MHZ FSB, onboard sound, lan, and USB2.0. Serial ATA and firewire are not really requirements as I have nothing that would utilize them. I may overclock the machine but that is not a strict requirement.
I'm trying to keep the budget around 750dollars, so I have about $120 dollars left for the motherboard.
If I've left anything out, let me know and I'll fill it in.
TIA
